[QUOTE="cuttysark, post: 55979, member: 1578"] Hello Everyone, My name is Michael and I have been a season ticket holder to Tech since 2004. Even though I had to leave the Atlanta area back in 2005, I commute to most of the games from California as the GT fans are just great to be around and BDS is an awesome college football venue. As a former NCAA Football player from the 1970's, I enjoy watching triple option football and tough defense. I was on scholarship at CSU (Colorado State University) and can tell you from personal experience that recruiting today is nothing like it was back in the stone age when I went through that process. Don't get me started on the musical hat game or stars recruiting! I like Paul Johnson as a Coach and can tell you that the problems on the defensive side of the football are being corrected under Ted Roof who will do a very good job. Football has, is, and will always be won in the trenches and the team that can run the football and stop the other team from running will win more games than they lose. Passing teams can be stopped as everyone saw in the recent Super Bowl, and like Woodrow Hayes at Ohio State used to say: "When you throw the football three things can happen and two of them are bad." The Institute is a very tough place academically and no matter how good some player is on the football field, he needs to stay eligible to play. Therefore, recruiting kids who have not shown the ability in the classroom is a waste of time no matter how good of football players they are on the gridiron. This is a great site for GT Football discussions and look forward to contributing. Go Jackets! [/QUOTE]
